As NASA astronaut Cady Coleman orbited around Earth aboard the International Space Station, she, along with Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson, honored the 50th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin’s first manned-space flight in an unusual way. The two played a duet together, however, Anderson was not aboard the ship with Coleman. He was down on Earth in Perm, Russia, making this the first ever space-earth flute duet. Add it to the history books immediately.

In the video, Coleman says that besides honoring Gagarin, sharing music between Earth and space allows her to celebrate the roll that “humans play in the exploration of our universe — past, present, and future.” The song chosen to go down in history was “Bourree,” which Anderson performed with Jethro Tull during the band’s 1969 U.S tour. NASA says in a press release that the song was performed as Neil Amrstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped on the moon.

We’d like to believe they played simultaneously, but it turns out that’s a pretty hard thing to do when one person is 220 miles above Earth, and the other is in Russia. So, Coleman played her part late last week, and Anderson played his part while on tour during the weekend. The two parts were then put together to create the lovely video below.

After Coleman and Anderson’s performance, Anderson says that “We should remember that today’s cosmonauts, scientists, and astronauts are still every bit the rocket heroes they were 50 years ago.” Coming from a rock hero, I’d say that’s a pretty nice statement.
